Tales of the Strange works

Chapter 143

    

body felt a little warm, and I slowly opened my eyes.Near my ear, the sound of burning firewood crackled and popped incessantly, with waves of fragrance seeping into my nostrils.At that moment, a face...In the darkness, the sound of chains being dragged from around the bend grew louder and louder. Everyone's nerves instantly tensed.

Suddenly, the man grabbed the gun barrel and looked at Yao Yumen with a maniacal laugh: "Haha! Too late! In a few minutes it will be dinner time, the little thing hasn't been fed in two days, you all have to die! You all have to die!"

"Leave him alone for now!"

Xiangxi Zhao Ye frantically searched his pouch, he rummaged while shouting fiercely, "Yin Zi's corpse has a lot of strength, and its skin is hard and insensitive to pain. It's not afraid of ordinary knives and guns at all. Strike first! Let's go!" As he spoke, he found the ancestral Yinggan Tongbao coin.

This is a mouth-coin used by Zhao Ye's ancestors. He claims it has the effect of warding off evil spirits and protecting people from bad luck.

"Bang!" Yao Yumen's face was as cold as ice, and she shot the man in the calf without hesitation.

This man's pain tolerance was extraordinary. Despite being drenched in cold sweat from the pain, he not only didn't scream or cry out, but even grimaced painfully and laughed: "Die! Die! Let's die together!" Hahahaha.

With Zhao Ye, who held a silver coin in his hand, leading the way and followed closely by me.

As the distance closed, the clang of the iron chains ahead grew louder and louder. The closer you got to what you couldn't see, the more fear and uncertainty filled your heart.

Our escape route has been blocked! This must be Xiao Zhuan's plan!

Things weren't as expected, the beggar Liu remained silent with a cold face.

Xiaobingtou didn't choose to confront us head-on, but instead pulled off such a vicious move. He wants all of us to be fed to the Yinzi corpses!

Several flashlights were turned on to their highest setting, and as we rounded a corner, we shone them ahead.

Although we were vaccinated and mentally prepared, when we saw what was chained up, we were still scared.

A chain shackled a small, bloated corpse, no more than five feet tall. It was hard to tell if it had been submerged in a large white container beforehand, but the body was severely corroded, with patches of rotten flesh on its head, chest, abdomen, and shins riddled with holes. The stench of decay mingled with the pungent smell of chemicals, driving it straight up your nose! And this corpse's face...it couldn't be described as simply terrifying. The pale-green rotten flesh on its face, pockmarked with various sized depressions, was a mix of disgust and horror!

It seemed to sense the living, and started struggling wildly. Dust fell from the walls, and the iron chains could be broken at any moment!

A Xiangxi elder held a pill in his mouth and, with a wad of cash in hand, shouted, "Beggar! Open wide!"

The soft sword flew from Liu Yi's hand, the beggar leaped forward two giant strides, and with a flash, his blade plunged straight for the creature's mouth! The speed of the thrust was astonishing; even I could hear the whoosh of air as it sliced through.

"Crunching.... " A sword went into his mouth, the beggar Liu shouted: "No! This thing has bitten my teeth!"

With a metallic clang, the iron chains fixed to the wall snapped.

The beggar, Liu Dajing, was startled. He kicked out with his foot, using the recoil to draw his soft sword.

"Retreat! Quickly!" Seeing the only shackle, an iron chain, broken, Xiangxi Zhao Ye turned and retreated.

Yu Jie ran to the iron gate first, shaking it desperately, but the big padlock held the iron gate fast and wouldn't budge!

A crowd of people, gasping for breath, rushed to the iron gate. They heard a man's scream from behind them.

The man who had been shot in the calf by Yao Yumen and was unable to move has had an accident.

"Grandfather Zhao, we can't get out! Hurry and think of a way!" he cried out in panic.

The old man thought for a moment, then looked at us with a solemn expression and said: "We can't use the binding rope anymore. It's much harder to bind with a mouth-sealed coin. Now that we have no way out, if we want to deal with this thousand-year-old Yin Qi of this corpse, there's only one way left."

Here's the translation: ">

"Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"This is Huang Gao mixed with mugwort," he said, looking at me and the beggar Liu, and Liu Yushan: "There are only three left now. Hold it in your mouth, it can ward off evil spirits and corpse qi."

After finishing his words, the old man gave each of us a small black pill.

This pill is exactly the same as the one I took before. Both are used to ward off corpse stench.

The sound of chains dragging on the ground echoed again. The old man looked ahead and said, "Remember, there are only three pills. You have only one chance to get close. If you fail to hold onto it this time, I'm afraid all of us..."

In the darkness, turn on your flashlight.

Ahead appeared a small, dark figure. Upon closer inspection, this small figure seemed to be carrying a bloody human arm in its hand.

The flashlight in my hand stimulated this thing.as a beheading, what was puzzling was that there wasn't much blood flowing from Researcher An's neck. Upon closer inspection, one could see signs of coagulation at the wound.After seeing the vial, she...
